I don't know if it's because I just finished boxing, or because I'm shy.
The woman's cheeks had a faint, rosy glow.
A pair of clear, dark eyes looked somewhat evasive due to panic.
Lu Xizhou smiled, "I told you, I understand you. So, do you believe me now?"
I don't believe it.
Qin Chu retorted stubbornly, "Then tell me, when did I fall for you?"
Lu Xizhou smiled, his face calm and composed, "When I gave you my true heart and the moonlight together."
Qin Chu was completely stunned.
Lu Xizhou smiled smugly, "So, am I the one who understands you the most?"
Fearing that his thoughts would be guessed, Qin Chu became furious and embarrassed.
Lu Xizhou reached out and ruffled Qin Chu's hair. "Don't worry, in other people's eyes, you're still that arrogant and aloof female racer. Nobody can guess what you're thinking."
"You're the one who's all high and mighty! You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth!"
She turned her head away from his hand.
He reached out and slapped it away.
Qin Chu's heartbeat returned to normal.
"Lu Xizhou, why can't I believe it?"
Thinking back to that Valentine's Day night, he was dejected and pathetic, like a heartbroken lover who had been abandoned.
Qin Chu turned to look at Lu Xizhou, "You're not using me for amusement because your white moonlight left you, or... as a substitute?"
Lu Xizhou's gaze faltered slightly.
Qin Chu's heart jumped.
Qin Chu covered his face after his cheek was pinched.
Lu Xizhou said irritably, "You still say you're not interested? If you're not interested, why are you asking me so many questions?"
With his entire weight pressed against the soft railing behind him, Lu Xizhou reached out and pulled Qin Chu close.
"Be good, let me hold you for a while, and I'll tell you!"
Seeing that she struggled for a moment but couldn't break free, she obediently leaned against his chest.
Lu Xizhou curled his lips into a smile.
He spoke again, his voice clear and bright, "You mean Song Yiduo, right? Let me tell you plainly, she's not some kind of 'white moonlight.' I can't even remember what she looks like now."
? ? ?
That's not what the gossip about pears says.
Pear said that she and Madam Gu shared the same view: Lu Xizhou only realized he was deeply in love after being dumped, which is why he drowned his sorrows in alcohol and became so decadent.
Then, by a twist of fate, he entered her Flying, which led to that night's mountaintop race.
And everything that followed.
But Lu Xizhou said he didn't even remember what Song Yiduo looked like?
Lu Xizhou and Ye Li, Qin Chu believed Ye Li without hesitation!
You're kidding me!
Qin Chu sat up. "Have you forgotten how pathetic you were on Valentine's Day? Do you need me to help you remember?"
The other party seemed to be settling scores later, and they remembered the accounts very clearly.
Lu Xizhou couldn't help but want to laugh.
"A bunch of idiots!"
I can probably guess what Ye Li said to Qin Chu.
Lu Xizhou laughed, "Qin Chu, let me tell you clearly, if it weren't for Song Yiduo, I'd still be in Sicheng right now, probably living a life of debauchery with some girl."
Qin Chu's expression changed slightly.
Lu Xizhou quickly grabbed the person and pinned them down, wrapping his legs around hers.
Then, looking into her eyes, he said, "Now you know why I can't live without you, right?"
Qin Chu shook his head. "I don't know."
"..."
Lu Xizhou sighed, looking down and playing with her fingers, saying, "I used to think that my life would just be like this. It's all just pretending, everyone pretends together. Anyway, life is only a few decades long, and after pretending for a while, it will pass by. But Song Yiduo..."
Frowning slightly, as if he thought the name sounded childish, Lu Xizhou looked up at Qin Chu and said, "I've agreed to the engagement. I think whether we get married or not, and who we marry, it's all the same... let's just get married!"
"And then..."
The carefree, playboy look on his face vanished in an instant. Lu Xizhou lowered his head, a fleeting bitterness in his eyes. "She was the one who pursued me. She was also the one who told me that even if it was an arranged marriage, it might not end badly. Just do your best and give it a try. The last time I saw her, she told me, 'Lu Xizhou, you're like a rock in a latrine, smelly and hard.'"
"Then, she got married."
"I was really depressed during that time because I suddenly realized that no matter how much I pretended, there would always be someone who could see through me. And I missed the person who saw through me and might have been able to tolerate me."
He was afraid that if he said that to Song Yiduo in front of Qin Chu, she would get angry and run away.
Lu Xizhou moved closer. "Qin Chu, are you going to ask me if I would marry Song Yiduo if she hadn't gotten married?"
? ? ?
Qin Chu was taken aback.
Lu Xizhou nodded, "Yes. We will get married on the set date. In the future, like those seemingly loving couples in wealthy families, we will treat each other with cold indifference, maintaining a facade of harmony while being estranged. In private, I will do whatever I want, as for Song Yiduo..."
"Perhaps it's either endure it or leave?... But she's braver than me!"
I thought of the frustration I felt during the time when Song Yiduo was pursuing me.
He also thought of his frustration when he heard the news of her marriage.
And then came the profound enlightenment.
Lu Xizhou looked up at Qin Chu again, his eyes serious. "If I'm destined to keep pretending for the rest of my life, I hope there's someone who will let me stop pretending and make me less tired. And you just happened to appear."
"Qin Chu, I'm sure you're the one I want."
"What about you? Do you want to come into my arms?"
Lu Xizhou's eyes were sincere.
